Of course, Imperial Thematic Mechanized Infantry
(Skutatoi), NRE Panzergrenadiers, and New Israeli
infantry all wear fully environmental combat armor
which serves as NBC, has built-in compressor for high
altitude, automatic filters, etc.  And probably
(certaintly for Imperials--I can't speak for anyone
else) climate control.	This would only come into play
with the light infantry forces that wear partial body
armor.	And since the reason to have light infantry is
for lousy terrain (mountains, jungles, cities, etc.)
they should have been training under all sorts of
adverse conditions.
